Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Holidays you get 2.5x pay. Plus you get nice discounts. Generous tuition reimbursement where you don't have to have seniority or wait years for it like previous jobs I've had.

Cons

First, let me say that every At Home Advisor coworker I know is looking for another job. At home Advisor Chat position requires you to chat with 3 people at once, troubleshooting complicated processes. In each one of these chats, it's possible you may have to escalate the chat to a senior advisor. This used to be a single chat job with possibility for a 2nd. As of early 2016, they moved half their chat agents to phones and the ones that are left are being worked to the bone. It's been like this for months with no change in sight. In fact they're still moving chat agents to phones. Every day you log in, you'll see a horde of customers in the chat queue, guaranteeing you will have a miserable day. Unless you like being worked to your mental capacity limit for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, you should look for something else.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
